I want to know the history of the first world war Please and Thank you.
The First World War, also known as the Great War, was a global war that took place from 1914 to 1918. It was a conflict that involved many of the world's great powers, including the major European powers of France, Germany, the Russian Empire, the Austro Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. The war started with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo. The assassination sparked a series of alliances and declarations of war that led to a massive military conflict that resulted in millions of casualties and significant damage to the global economy. The war was characterized by trench warfare, the use of new technologies such as tanks and airplanes, and the employment of chemical weapons. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles,
